[interlug-vSRlqIl1h/9eoWH0uzbU5w at public.gmane.org]

Relayed on behalf of our fearless Announcer.

To be clear, this announcement is in regards to the KWLUG meeting of this 
coming Monday, 06 March 2006.  All Linux enthusiasts are welcome.   So if you 
are stuck west of the cityMonday afternoon and want to let the traffic die 
down.  Come to KWLUG.  Our new Motto.  "It's better than being stuck on the 
401 between Dixie and 427."  

> 	Hey kids!
>
> 	Boy do we have a fun show for you this Monday! Instrumentation
> and CLUE and websites and keyrings, with nary a weather prediction in
> sight!
>
> 	As an appetizer, during the pre-meeting (6pm-7pm) Richard will be
> running a key-signing. This is an event where people get together to
> exchange GPG (GNU Privacy Guard) keys and laugh at each other's photo-IDs.
> You can then use these keys to verify your identity when sending e-mails,
> and let other people send you encrypted e-mails.
>
> 	Richard has posted some instructions about this process on his
> website:
> 	http://www.dyoh.com/?q=node/view/10
> 	He's so excited about event this he has been wandering around in a
> daze, calling himself the KeyMaster. (His joke, not mine, but if
> Sigourney Weaver (or, I guess, Rick Moranis) shows up I'm ducking for
> cover.)

[Nice nesting of brackets, Paul -ed]

> 	Also at 6pm Charles will be showing a Linux training video, which
> I think will be on backups.
>
> 	At 7pm we have the main event, emceed by John Kerr: "Tcl/Tk and
> the Open Instrumentation Project", which will be presented by Peter
> Hiscocks and James Gaston of Ryerson University in Toronto. This project
> aims to create low-cost electronics labs that run on open-source software.
>
> 	In addition we'll have two other short announcement/demos: Evan
> Leibovitch from CLUE (the Canadian Linux User's Exchange) will talk about
> that group's upcoming initiatives and events, and Richard will talk about
> the new KWLUG website.
>
> 	If you are interested, you can test-run betas of the new website
> at:
> 	http://drupal.kwlug.org
> 	http://www.kwlug.org/joomla
>
> 	The meeting will be at the usual location, namely:
>
> The Working Centre
> 43 Queen Street South
> Kitchener
> (Between King and Charles streets)
>
> 	As usual, there is free horseless carriage parking at the back lot
> after 6pm, and free bike parking at the back all the time.
